I couldn’t-wouldn’t have put up with that. They have probably stolen anything that wasn’t tied down

Looking back, I don't know where the time (42 years) have gone.

First 20 we moved 28 times. Second 20 , only 3 times . Last 10 only 2 times. First 20 was a long time. Second 20 just cruised along. Last 10 seems like weeks.

Well, I'll make up my mind after a nice anniversary dinner tonight.

An hour in the car together, both ways, can always change my mind.................................and hers! laugh

With the first one I only made it nine. Twenty would have been a disaster. Second one did 21 1/2. Had ups and downs, but didn't seem like that long. She basically decided she didn't want to be married. To anyone. This one we have been married twelve years, but together fifteen. Seems like it has gone by in a blink. Looking forward to making twenty and then as long as we can after that.

A solid 32 years this past June. As I traveled so much due to my career she managed the boys, house, bills, etc. Her son's adore her. I couldn't imagine anything better.

Being married to the same woman for 20yrs may seem like a long time if you cannot resolve your problems.

Everybody has problems, it's how you deal with them that matters.

If you both make sacrifices, 20 yrs will fly by. If only one does, you won't make it to 20.

I'm 3/4 of the way through my second 20. I don't even bother looking both ways when I cross the street anymore.

Actually, it is good. We've had some battles like everyone but we never considered not being together.
